U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 12-3740
U.S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri - Kansas City
[PUBLISHED] [Loken, Author, with Colloton and Benton, Circuit Judges]
Civil case - Arbitration. The arbitrator's decision was a straightforward
balancing of the management rights and just cause provisions and thus drew
its essence from the parties' CBA; the employer made nowhere near the
factual and legal showing which would be required for this court to invoke
the narrow public policy exemption and vacate an arbitration award that
fully acknowledged the employee's misconduct, denied her back pay as a
result of the misconduct, but reinstated her to her former position.
